I am writing you this letter after much internal debate to inform you of the many realizations that erupted within me after our very brief encounter yesterday. I am writing you this letter because there is a lot I have to say to you. I am writing you this letter because after a great deal of thought, I\u2019ve decided that you might like to know what you did, what I should have done, and what I hope can happen between you and me in the future.<\/p>\n

First, what you did. Yesterday, as I was walking down Columbia Road, you saw me from a distance. I did not see you, because I was on the phone. But you certainly saw me. You saw me in my summer dress, walking quickly because I was late for dinner with my cousins, chattering away on my cell phone, laughing at something my friend said. You saw me. You saw my black hair, my sloped forehead, brown eyes, and undoubtedly in your mind you thought something along the lines of <\/em>chink, gook, oriental, Chinese chick who doesn\u2019t speak English<\/em>. And for some reason, for a reason that I can\u2019t understand, you proceeded to get right in my face and yell at me. And if you can\u2019t remember what it is you yelled\u2014Well, I do and I probably will forever:<\/em>\u201cChing chong ching chong f***ing CHINK!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
